Manager Antonio Conte

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

For £15 million a year and all the hype about him, at the very least I’d expect a Plan B and a bit of improvisation when Plan A is clearly not working.
Yes I can agree with that but if you don't even give him what he needs for plan a I don't what more people expect performance wise. These are the same players that played under poch,Jose,nuno and now conte. They've proven for 3 seasons no matter what system you play they're just fucking shit.
 
We cant just keep chopping and changing the manager every few months when the players down tools again.

Theres a rot in this club and it starts at the board level.

I agree the tactics and player selections arent ideal. But its been multiple managers over multiple years and its always the same bunch that let down Tottenham Hotspur.

Fingers should be pointed at the board for continually weakening the team every transfer window. Im still flabbergasted by the decisions in January.
 
Yawn. Same old process being repeated. Expecting progressive football when Winks/Hojbjerg are our midfield pairing and Sessegnon/Doherty the wingbacks. Not to mention Son putting in a legitimate 1/10 performance and Kulusevski wanting about 12 years on the ball and showing the same burst of pace as an arthritic tortoise.

I expect more than an utter pathetic and gutless performance against a Middlesbrough side who were getting walloped 3-0 by Barnsley in their last games, before a few late consolation goals.

Our squad is bang average midtable Premier League but it should be more than capable to prevail over bang average miserable Championship.
 
There is no plan fuckling B when your midfield is Wanks-PEH and your bench is Bergwijn, Devine, Scarlett and Royal.

There is a reason why he has never looked like this at any other job he has been at. But I am sure it is because he forgot how to manage and not because of the League One level talent he has to use.
LOL, so if given the best talent he'll compete, give him less than the best and he'll not compete, but its not his fault.

I'd imagine Pardew and Holloway would do similar.

Lol. The apologist is out in force.
 
So you're saying the squad we put out there shouldn't be able to beat Middlesbrough?

It should, but it's full of a bunch of shoddily assembled half arsed players who have zero consistency and can only play under certain conditions, i.e when there's loads of space to play in and it's a big game. When it's a little bit tough and they're pressurised, this group crumble. They've done it under multiple managers now.

They'll win some weeks and lose other weeks. Don't have the spine to put together a run. This whole team needs to be purged over the course of years, it's rotten at the core. Whether Conte is the man to oversee that purge I don't know (doubt he wants to stay for it, honestly) but he's not the man responsible for this at all.

He didn't have the best talent at his other clubs that is such BS. But yes give him some talent and he will be great.

Feel free to provide all these amazing managers winning with shit players.

Absolute twaddle. Put Harry Redknapp in charge of this squad and he'd do better than Conte.
